Multiple parlays home. A profitable UFC card. A live Sparty add that paid. Saturday’s picks cleared 7U, with college football and the NHL doing the heavy lifting. The NBA props missed, and one chaotic defensive touchdown kept the college football card from a sweep.
Here’s the November 7 breakdown, sport by sport.
College Football — Dogs Deliver, One Scoop-and-Score Hurts
Penn State + Oregon Moneyline Parlay — Winner
Penn State beat Washington 28–25, and Oregon went into Columbus and beat Ohio State 41–28. Two outright wins brought the college football moneyline parlay home.
Oregon earned this one the hard way. Down 14–0, the Ducks ripped off 38 unanswered points. Dylan Raiola threw for 257 yards, Dierre Hill Jr. ran for two touchdowns, and Ohio State finished 0-for-4 on fourth down. That’s how you flip a game—and cash an underdog moneyline.
Michigan State Live ML +170 — 1U Wins 1.70U
Sparty showed up for the rivalry. Already leading and back in the red zone, Michigan State was still available live at +170. We couldn’t resist putting 1U on that opportunity.
Michigan State finished the job, beating Michigan 15–6 and returning 1.70U in profit.
Free-Play Parlay — San José State −8.5, UAB −6.5, FIU −4.5
San José State beat Northern Illinois 30–19, covering −8.5. UAB beat Charlotte 23–12, covering −6.5. Both won by 11. FIU won 23–20, but the three-point margin left −4.5 short.
San José State’s two third-quarter touchdowns created the separation. UAB broke open a tight game with two fourth-quarter touchdown runs from Ja’Vin Simpkins. Those legs handled business.
FIU was the gut punch. With 6:42 remaining, Missouri State’s J.J. O’Neal forced a strip-sack, Jashawn Cooper scooped it up and went 51 yards for a touchdown. Henry Belin IV converted the two-point try to tie it at 17. A defensive score burned the free-play parlay for the second straight week.
At that point, overtime offered a remaining path to a six-point FIU win and the cover. Our San José State leg was still unsettled when we assessed the position, and no cashout was offered. A clean hedge wasn’t available to us, so we rode it out. FIU ultimately won on Robert Czeremcha’s 35-yard field goal as time expired. Right winner. Wrong margin.
NHL — Steam Model Parlay Cashes
The plays: Dallas moneyline, Carolina −1.5 and Edmonton −1.5. All three delivered.
Dallas held off San Jose 4–3, supplying the outright win without needing a two-goal margin. Thomas Harley scored the eventual winner and added two assists.
Carolina left nothing to sweat, hammering Chicago 9–2 to clear −1.5 by plenty. Edmonton beat Vancouver 4–2, landing exactly the two-goal margin.
UFC — Two Winners, Profitable Card
Johnny Walker Moneyline — Winner
Walker stopped Waldo Cortes-Acosta at 2:27 of the third round. The head kick and follow-up punches delivered the underdog win and the biggest individual result on our UFC card.
Four-Fighter Moneyline Parlay — Winner
Tatiana Suarez, Elijah Smith, Nina Milošević and Jose Henrique Souza all won. Suarez took a unanimous decision over Virna Jandiroba. Smith knocked out Davey Grant in one minute, Milošević stopped Priscila Cachoeira in the second round, and Souza knocked out Jonny Parsons in the first.
Raposo–Degli Inside the Distance — Loss
Mitch Raposo beat Marcos Degli by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring it 29–28. We needed a finish. The full 15 minutes left that ticket short.
UFC finished 2–1 and profitable. Walker and the four-leg parlay carried the card.
NBA — Knicks Win, Our Props Don’t
Brunson Over 2.5 Threes + McBride Over 1.5 Threes — Loss
Jalen Brunson made three triples to clear his leg. Miles McBride went 1-for-3 from deep, leaving us one made three short of the two-leg cash.
Drummond Over 7.5 Points + Over 7.5 Rebounds — Loss
Andre Drummond grabbed eight rebounds, so that half of the angle delivered. The points did not: he finished scoreless in 14 minutes.
Karl-Anthony Towns had 29 points and 13 rebounds in New York’s 109–97 win over Cleveland. Our angle anticipated more opportunity for Drummond if Towns ran into foul trouble. That opening never materialized. A solid Knicks win, but neither player-prop parlay got home.
The Betting Takeaway — Parlays Hit, Sparty Pays
The college football moneyline parlay and NHL steam model parlay led the way. Michigan State added a live +170 winner, and UFC contributed a profitable 2–1 card.
FIU’s margin and the two NBA prop misses kept it from being an even bigger day. The winning parlays and live add still pushed Saturday past 7U.
